AFRS 254 - The Arts of Western and Northern Africa

Semester Offered: Spring
1 unit(s)
(Same as ART 254 ) This course is organized thematically and examines the ways in which sculpture, architecture, painting, and photography function both historically and currently in relationship to broader cultural issues. Within this context, this course explores performance and masquerade in relationship to gender, social, and political power. We also consider the connections between the visual arts and cosmology, Islam, identity, ideas of diaspora, colonialism and post-colonialism, as well as the representation of “Self” and the “Other.”

Prerequisite(s): ART 105 -ART 106 .

Two 75-minute periods.
